FAQs
How does the challenge work?
Participants are challenged to walk 100km with your dog in April to raise funds for the Royal British Legion, so we can support our Armed Forces. The challenge officially starts on 1st April.
Is there a registration fee?
Nope, this event is FREE for anyone to take part! However, everyday we support our serving and ex-serving military personnel and their families, so any money you can raise for the Royal British Legion would really help us to reach more people who need our support.
What’s the registration deadline?
There's no registration deadline, but the dog bandana offer is available whilst stocks last, so we recommend you or any friends/family join the challenge as early as possible to avoid any disappointment!
My bandana hasn’t arrived yet!
it normally takes about 10 working days for dog bandanas to arrive. If you've waited longer than this, please contact us on Messenger and we'll look into this for you. Thanks so much for your patience.
I’ve got more than one dog, can I get another bandana?
Unfortunately, we have a very limited stock of dog bandanas and will only be able to supply one dog bandana per registered fundraiser. You can visit our website to purchase another item - https://www.poppyshop.org.uk/products/poppy-and-polka-dots-dark-blue-pet-bandana
Can I adapt the challenge for my needs?
Absolutely. This is your challenge so you can do it any way you like. We encourage everyone to adapt it to suit their own needs and goals, its all about having fun whilst raising money with your four-legged friend! If you have any concerns please get in contact with your local vet/doctor before taking part.
Do my daily dog walks count?
This is your challenge, and we encourage your dog and you to do it your way - some people will do it as part of their usual walks and others might choose to add this in addition. The important thing is that you're doing something that challenges you both. This will vary from person to person and dog to dog, so tailor the challenge however you like. It should be tough, but doable. You should both feel satisfied when you finish it!
I’m not in the UK, can I take part?
You are more than welcome to take part wherever you are based in the world. Unfortunately, we can only ship dog bandanas to UK addresses.
What is the fundraising target?
We only ask that you raise as much as you’re able. Facebook automatically sets the target on your page at £150, which could support 6 veterans’ rehabilitations with a place on our arts programme! Your more than welcome to adjust this target according to the challenge you'd like to set yourself - Remember if you raise over £150 you’ll get an medal too!
